Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Rolled oats
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Pumpkin seeds
- 50 grams Sunflower seeds
- 20 grams Chia seeds
- 20 grams Flaxseeds
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 7 grams Dry active yeast
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 360 milliliters Warm water (around 40°C/105°F)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and salt. Mix well.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the warm water and honey (or maple syrup). Sprinkle the dry active yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until the dough is smooth but slightly sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour (1 tablespoon at a time).
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan and cover with the kitchen towel. Let it rise again for about 20-30 minutes until it slightly puffs up.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
